Friday March 7, 2008 - Happiness

Happiness can be measured and debated in a number of ways. Consider one of my wife Stephanie's favorite quotes:
Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. - Og Mandino

Yesterday at 5:00am Stephanie had a killer workout with her trainer, Jason Paulin. Jason and his wife are fitness competitors and owners of Fitness Together in Evergreen. Stephanie has been talking Jason up pretty good, so I joined Jason and one of his trainers Nate for a killer Crossfit-esque circuit before returning to Atlanta for 4 days of simulators. Jason and Nate are pictured at the Paulin's gym: Fitness Together - their results speak for themselves!

I am passing along a Crossfit article from Sandra Ofallon of New England Crossfit fame. Hard to believe Sandra did her first Crossfit workout with us in Iraq only weeks ago - what a STUD! Check out her pics of her own named workout "SANDRA" - see yesterday's comments for details. Denver Post Crossfit Article - Click Here

A Wisdom of the Warrior principle is consistent with Stephanie's quote above - Give freely of your passion you and others will both benefit!
